AbstractThe stability of core-shell particles (CSPs) with butyl acrylate (BA) as the core and methyl methacrylate (MMA)/glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) mixture in various compositions as the shell was investigated by turbidity measurements. The experiments demonstrate that lower amount addition of GMA could not improve the latex stability. When the amount of GMA exceeded 2% of the total reactants, it began to improve the stability of the latex. With the increasing content of GMA, the latex became more and more stable. On the other hand, experimental data also show that the stability was improved by increasing the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS).

Magnetic properties of the sets of Fe3O4(core)/CoFe2O4(shell) composite nanoparticles with a core diameter of about 6.3 nm and various shell thicknesses (0, 1.0, and 2.5 nm), as well as the mixtures of Fe3O4 and CoFe2O4 nanoparticles taken in the ratios corresponding to the core/shell material contents in the former case, have been studied. The results of magnetic research showed that the coating of magnetic nanoparticles with a shell gives rise to the appearance of two simultaneous effects: the modification of the core/shell interface parameters and the parameter change in both the nanoparticle’s core and shell themselves. As a result, the core/shell particles acquire new characteristics that are inherent neither to Fe3O4 nor to CoFe2O4. The obtained results open the way to the optimization and adaptation of the parameters of the core/shell spinel-ferrite-based nanoparticles for their application in various technological and biomedical domains.

Core-shell microspheres ranging in average diameter from 12.829 to 15.039 μm, with a poly butyl methacrylate (BMA) core, and a poly 3-(methacryloxypropyl)-trimethoxysilane (MATS) shell, were prepared with methanol as the dispersion medium, by a successive seeding method under kinetically controlled conditions. To date, although some of particles (PSi/PA) have been prepared by seeded emulsion polymerisation, only a few core/shell (PA/PSi) microspheres have been reported the literatures. To prepare core/shell (PA/PSi), the core was first synthesized by dispersion polymerisation and to form seeds; addition of MATS monomer was started after 90~95% conversion of the BMA. The reaction was prolonged for another 12 h to achieve complete consumption of MATS monomer. Microspheres; containing hydrophilic PBMA as the core and hydrophobic PMATS as the shell, were successfully formed through the free radical of surface in the core. The particles morphology and size distribution were examined using a Transmission electron microscope and a Malvern Master Sizer/E particle size analyser, respectively.

This study aims to describe the preparation and characterization of SiO2/TiO2 core-shell particles. In order to prepare the homogenous SiO2/TiO2 inorganic compounds by sol-gel process, SiO2 particles were used as the core, AcAc served as a chelating agent to chelate with TTIP (which was used as the precursor to TiO2), and PEG was added to stabilize the hydrolysis/condensation process. In addition, the ionic surfactant (SDS) and the nonionic surfactant (PVP) dispersed the core-shell particles. In order to improve the crystal structure, a high temperature was used to calcine the core-shell particles. The influence of various reaction parameters on the size, morphology and composition of the particles was also investigated. The properties of the particles were analyzed by electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and powder X-ray diffraction.

A sintering, microstructural development and dielectric property study of BaTiO3–LiF ceramics was performed to assess the potential application of low-fired multilayer capacitors. Not only does LiF allow for sintering below 1000 °C, it also allows for the manipulation of dielectric properties and interfaces within BaTiO3–LiF ceramics. Using mixing laws, a model of the dielectric properties of the core-shell microstructures is presented that agrees well with the observed experimental data.

We demonstrate the design of the recyclable photocatalyst based on ferromagnetic (FM) ZnO- TiO2 core-shell nanowires (NWs). Since the band gaps and band edge energies of bulk ZnO and anatase TiO2 are equal to each other within about 45mV, TiO2 and ZnO can form an p-p+ heterojunction free of band discontinuities and with a built-in potential. The resulting radial field will increase hole density in the TiO2 layer while reduce hole concentration at the interface between the core and the shell, which in turn will decrease the rate of recombination in the photocatalytic TiO2, and hence increase the efficiency of photocatalyst. On the other hand, the NWs with FM cores can be easily collected and refreshed using solenoid and suitable for the recyclable usage of the NW catalyst

AbstractIn this paper, the composite latex particles with a polyacrylate (PA) core and a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) shell via 3-(methacryloxypropyl)- trimethoxy silane (MPS) as the medium to link the core and shell were prepared by semicontinuous seeded emulsion polymerization and were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), FT-IR, particle size analyzer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The TEM images indicated that the particles containing organic siloxane (D-40) displayed an evident core/shell structure. Additionally, the study by FT-IR and XPS also revealed that D4 could be grafted onto the surface of polyacrylate core because there appeared the characteristic peaks of Si-O-Si group and Si 2s and Si 2p in the spectra of FT-IR and XPS respectively. Besides, the atomic ratio of C/Si on the surface of the core/shell particles (D-40) was close to the ratio of C/Si in the latex of pure PDMS that could prove the PA particles were fully covered by PDMS and the properties of PDMS should be embodied in a maximal level. In order to testify the result, the surface properties of the films produced from the core/shell particles were also investigated by the static contact angle method. Compared with the copolymer of PA, the core/shell particles were more effective to create hydrophobic surface, so, the introduction of D4 was capable of obvious increase in water repellency.

Core-shell materials, in which a layer or multilayer of inorganic or organic material surrounds an inorganic or organic particle core, have been investigated both as a means to improve the stability and surface chemistry of the core particle and as a way of accessing unique physical and chemical properties that are not possible from one material alone. As a result, the fabrication of core-shell particles is attracting a great deal of interest because of their unique properties and potential applicability in catalysis, semiconductors, drug delivery, enzyme immobilization, molecular recognition, chemical sensing, etc. As evidenced by the literature described and discussed in this review, a basic understanding of the mechanism and recent progress in production methods have enabled the fabrication of core-shell particles with unique and tailored properties for various applications in materials science.

The results of Mössbauer studies of the composition and magnetic structure of Fe3O4 / -Fe2O3 nanoparticles placed in an external magnetic field with a strength of 1.8 kOe, which is a continuation of the work [A.S. Kamzin, I.M. Obaidat, A.A. Valliulin, V.G. Semenov, I.A. Al-Omari. FTT No. 10/2020]. It is shown that the thickness of the maghemite (-Fe2O3) shell can be changed by the synthesis conditions. It was found that on the surface of the maghemite (-Fe2O3) shell in the Fe3O4 / -Fe2O3 nanocomposites there is a layer in which the magnetic moments are not oriented collinearly to the moments located in the depth of the shell, i.e., there is a canted spin structure. An intermediate layer in the spin-glass state is formed between the core and the shell. The data obtained on the structure of core / shell particles are important for understanding the properties of nanocomposites, which are of great interest for applications in various fields, including biomedicine.
